Replace app package on Windows 10

I recently updated to Windows 10 Home Build 10586. Some built-in apps, however, appear to have been corrupted. One example being MSN News:

I have uninstalled and re-installed these apps several times with reboots in between. I have uninstalled apps both via the start menu and via Powershell (Remove-AppxPackage).

I am the only user account.

How can I force the store to replace app packages when reinstalling built-in apps?

Solution 1:

1. Navigate to C:\Program files\WindowsApps (take ownership if you haven't already done so by Right-clicking on the app folder then left-clicking security tab -> change ownership -> select your user name -> apply -> ok)

2. Inside the folder search for "bing news" delete any file with Microsoft.BingNews_2015.709.2017.3396_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe or similar, then run the app.

3. In the start menu, right-click the app and click uninstall.

4. Finally go to store and reinstall the app and search for updates on the store.

Solution 2:

As reinstalling the apps didn't work, you might rather need to repair Windows 10 itself, which also includes repairing these apps.

See this article from the Windows 10 Forums for detailed instructions with screenshots:

Ensure you have good backups before starting.
